Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 189 Perfect Revenge
Chapter [-] Perfect Revenge
The Wanghai County Government Office is located on Sanli Street in the north of Wanghai County. This street is also extremely prosperous, with restaurants, shops and teahouses everywhere.It's not like the urban management and law enforcement in Jinxi's previous era. Here, there are many small moving carts on the wide street outside the gate of the county government. There is an endless stream of people buying and selling various sesame seed cakes. The rich and sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes gives people This cold winter day adds a touch of warmth.

"Master, the food and drinks you want are all ready, do you want to order anything else?" In a small private room on the second floor of the Mingshan Pavilion restaurant diagonally opposite the county government office, Xiao Er presented the sumptuous dishes to the table one by one. He bowed and asked for instructions in a low voice to Wending, who was sitting there in a black robe.

Wen Ding squinted at the blue-clothed girl who was resting her hands on the window sill, looking at the street scene outside with relish, and attracted the mistress to whisper something in her ear. The mistress nodded and bowed out of the private room.

"Xi'er, no matter how beautiful the street scene is, you have to come to eat, or the food will lose its taste if it gets cold." Wen Ding said warmly towards Jin Xi's back.

Jin Xi turned around, walked back to the table with a smile and sat down, glanced at the table full of colorful dishes, her eyes lit up, she couldn't help clapping her hands and said, "Brother Wen, you have to do your best to be a landlord There is no need to prepare so many dishes, right? Just one meal, it’s too expensive, and it’s a waste if you can’t finish it! Can you allow me to pack it and take it away?”

Wen Ding smiled and remained silent, filled the tea bowl in front of Jin Xi with warm jasmine scented tea, and said, "This is the first time you have come to Mingshan Pavilion as a guest, so I naturally want you to try my signature dishes, but , I have something to say up front, of course you can pack it, but you have tasted my food here, so you have to give a review." Wen Ding joked, he knew that although Jin Xi started by opening a grocery store, but , Judging from this year's attention, the real most powerful ability of the girl in front of her should be eating. Whether it's Qianlixiang's weird breakfasts and desserts, or Xiaobeilou's various hot pots, they are all delicious. Her unique vision of food and her keen sense of business opportunities are everywhere.

"All the chefs you hire here are chefs. Of course, there is no choice. But from the customer's point of view, which dish suits my taste best, I can talk about it."

Jin Xi nodded with a smile, took a sip of the fragrant scented tea, and the two of them began to taste it with their chopsticks. The meal was relaxed and pleasant, and they were discussing the food. Jin Xi leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said to Wending: "Brother Wen, when you came out of the county government prison yesterday, I saw that the prison boss treated you very well, are you acquaintances?"

Not only is it good, it is simply very respectful. Jin Xi and Wen Ding went to the prison to visit the three brothers of the Ma family who were arrested, but they didn't let the jailer lead the way. It was the prison chief who brought Wen Ding and Jin Xi in. When he and Jinxi were talking to the three brothers of the Ma family inside, the cell boss dismissed the nearby guards with great winking, and he also stood a long distance away, completely giving up the space to Jinxi and Wending.

"Oh, you mean Liaotou? Well, he is a person who likes wine. I used to get some good wine, and I would give him a few jars." Wen Ding said.

Jin Xi narrowed her eyes, Wending is really good at it, she has been trying to win over these people on weekdays, this is the so-called 'someone in the court is easy to handle. Li Laotou was bought by Wending a long time ago, so it was convenient for her to 'communicate' with the Ma brothers today.

"Brother Wen, Xi'er admires your ability to plan ahead." Jin Xi blinked and said.

"You're hurting me, hehe, but it's okay, like our restaurant business, we need to get to know people from all corners of the country, as the saying goes, soldiers will be used for a thousand days, and everyone will play a corresponding role at the right time. "Wending said lightly.

Jin Xi nodded, she learned again.

"I see that the three brothers of the Ma family are in prison, so they probably haven't suffered much yet." Jin Xi pondered.

Wen Ding raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, and the two of them went back to the period when they visited the prison yesterday.

……

In Jin Xi's conception, those who went to prison, not to mention those bloody people who were beaten for their heinous crimes, others will more or less have some traces of being in prison.But the fact is, when Jinxi stood in front of the cage where the three brothers of the Ma family were imprisoned, the scene in front of her was not at all what Jinxi imagined all the way. "Haha, second brother, you've lost, come here, grab it!" Before we got there, we heard the sound of yelling from the innermost part.

Jin Xi frowned, and quickened her pace to move forward. The light was dim, and in the cell filled with musty and foul smells, three strong men with broad arms and round waists were sitting cross-legged on the cell bed covered with grass. The three of them were playing a card made of bamboo.

Jin Xi had seen Liang Yulin and the others play that kind of card before, seeing one of the Ma family brothers pick up a straw and stuff it into the other's mouth, Jin Xi guessed that they were taking the straw as punishment for losing.

"Brother, someone is here to visit us!" The man who was facing Jinxi first spotted the blue figure standing in front of the wooden fence, spit out the straw in his mouth, pointed to this side and shouted.The other two men turned their faces, and Jin Xi saw that both men had straws in their mouths, and the man with his back to her had the most in his mouth, and it seemed that he was the biggest loser.

Jin Xi glanced at the faces of the three people, all three of them were about the same in appearance, with big faces and beards, and a fierce look in their facial features. The temperament is very similar to the kind of cattle thief who specializes in stealing cattle from others on dark and windy nights.

The bodies of the three are also very similar, the only difference is that the faces of the three are younger and more mature.The most mature man who was replaced as the eldest brother should be similar to Liang Yuju in appearance.

When the three of them learned that Jinxi's identity was the owner of the hot pot restaurant they went to make trouble for, the three Ma brothers were a little surprised, but they didn't panic immediately.The boss of the Ma family even threatened to intimidate Jinxi, saying that the five tigers of the Ma family are the top street fighters in the east, and that there are many people they know both black and white. Turning to Qian Lixiang, if Jin Xi and the others cannot settle and survive in Wanghai County, what should I do...

When the boss of the Ma family even threatened to sell Jin Xi to the Goulan Courtyard, as soon as he exited his mouth, something flew into his mouth, which blocked his throat and almost didn't bring it up. Fortunately, the other two brothers caught up in time. After patting and digging, they finally coughed up the thing. When they saw it, the three brothers were startled. It turned out to be a pebble the size of a broad bean!

"Who, who is the black hand on my elder brother? Come out, come out for me!" The other two roared.

"If you let him speak rudely again, he won't be a stone!" Wen Ding responded, his voice was cold, and his black clothes seemed to blend in with the dark atmosphere in the prison.

"You still call yourself the Five Tigers of the East Street, but they are just a few rascals! It's really shameful to bully the neighbors in the neighborhood because of the number of brothers you have!" Jin Xi sneered,
The boss of the Ma family stopped the two brothers who were about to show off their power, pulled the two brothers and pushed them to the innermost wall of the cell, made a protective posture, and said in a deep voice: "Don't go there, the man in black is a practicing family, carefully I have suffered a dark loss!" After speaking, Ma Da looked back and forth at the two figures, one black and one blue, standing side by side outside the wooden fence, and said gloomyly: "Why, the little girl from the owner of the hot pot shop brought in rescuers? Hmph, so what, fighting is commonplace for our five brothers, and going to prison is entering our own vegetable garden. Even if you don't file a lawsuit later, the county magistrate will still let our brothers go home! Then you will have to wait and see!"

"That's right, no matter how bad it is, it's just a matter of hitting a few boards, and it's not a major matter of murder and arson. We are not afraid, just wait!" Ma Er said.

"Hey, why do we have people in both black and white, you country bumpkins from down below, how do you fight with us native street fighters? Save your energy! If you are sensible, give my elder brother three kowtows now, go After that, honor our money on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and our five brothers will cover your shop!" Ma Wu said.

"No wonder you are so leisurely here, and you still want to play cards. Not only are you regular customers here, but you also have something to rely on! Well, not bad, it seems to be a bit more capable than ordinary street fighters, but still a bunch of pig brains! "Jin Xi said in a clear voice with a half-smile.

"What did you say? Say it again?" Ma Wu stared, and was about to step forward, but was held back by his two elder brothers. They glanced at Wen Ding, who had been standing beside Jin Xi with his hands behind his back, and secretly shook his head. Obviously he was afraid of Wending.

"What do you mean there are black and white people? If I'm not mistaken, the person you rely on for food is the one who had an affair with your widow and sister?" Jin Xi rubbed the dust on the wooden fence with her fingers, lightly He took a breath and said lightly.

"You, how do you know about my fourth sister and master, who told you?" The expressions of all the Ma brothers changed slightly, but Ma Wu was the first to ask.

"Fifth brother, don't..." The two elder brothers tried to intercept, but the words had already been spoken.

"Oh, I'm still wondering who that adulterer is. It turns out that he is really a popular person next to the county magistrate, the master Wang who makes the county magistrate do everything right? Ma Wu, you still don't know if you are a pig brain , do you admit it now?" Jin Xi laughed.

Wen Ding smiled coldly and said, "Pigs are smarter than him!"

Ma Wuyi was in a hurry, seeing the expressions of the two elder brothers, both of them were beating their chests and stamping their feet angrily, only then did they realize that they had been fooled by that little girl, and revealed the matter of Fourth Sister having an affair with Master Wang. But the Ma brothers have been presumptuous in the club for the past few years, so what should they do?Ma Wu immediately retorted, but what he said in a hurry was too much to say and too many mistakes, and even more information was exposed accidentally.

"Hey, what kind of flower does your sister grow and have affairs with so many people? Master prisoner, have you listened carefully?" Jin Xi asked sideways, and the Ma brothers were stunned, only then did they find the prisoner who had left earlier Appeared out of nowhere, followed by two guards in charge, the jailer nodded, and said with a straight face: "Not only me, but also my two subordinates can hear it clearly, wait until you turn around. When I go to court, I will report to the magistrate the magistrate's confession, their threats, and the facts that Ma Wu personally confessed to the magistrate!"

"Li Laotou is really upright, and we business owners really admire him!" Jin Xi said, bowing slightly to Li Laotou and saluting, Li Laotou took two steps back and said: "Miss, you are serious, this is mine. Responsibility!" After finishing speaking, he glanced at Wending and saw Wending standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes were cold and calm, and his face had no emotional fluctuations, Li Laotou quietly stepped aside.

In the cell behind the wooden fence, Ma Wu was so annoyed that he wanted to bite off his tongue.With a roar, he rushed to the wooden fence like a wild animal, stretched out his hand to catch Jin Xi, and kept yelling: "Bitch, dig a hole for me to jump in, I'll tear you apart and feed it to the dogs!"

This time Wen Ding didn't attack Ma Wu this time. Instead, he took Jin Xi behind him and took several steps back. Prisoner Li had already brought guards over, and the back of the knife directly slashed at Ma Wu's hand. Hearing only a few bangs, Ma Wu jumped up in pain, knowing without thinking that his finger might be broken.

"Brother Wen, this place is so scary, he wants to kill me in front of the jailer!" Jin Xi said.

"Then let's go out now!" Wen Ding said, protecting Jin Xi and walking towards the exit.When he got to the door, he didn't leave immediately, but waited for Li Baotou there.

"Fifth brother! You are so impatient... hey!" Ma Er said dissatisfiedly: "The guard behind Li Laotou is someone who was placed here by Master Wang. If he hadn't covered him, you and my brothers three would have come to this kind of place. Don’t even think about going out without being beaten. The guard just kept blinking at you. You said your eyes don’t care, but why can’t you even control your own mouth? You can’t confess to Master Wang, That person is the guardian Buddha of our family!"

Ma Wu drooped his shoulders in frustration, and Ma Da also said gloomyly: "Don't panic, even if the little girl plots to trick us out, even if Li Baotou reports the story to the county magistrate, based on Our fourth sister's 'bed friendship' with Mr. Wang, with the county magistrate's reliance on Mr. Wang, in this matter, the chances of winning are still on our side!"

When Ma Wuyi heard what Ma Da said, his shoulders slumped again, and he punched the wall in front of him, gnashing his teeth and said: "When I go out, the first thing is to get that little girl here, I want to play to death She will sell it to the Goulan Courtyard to let her know how much she has offended my Fifth Lord Ma!"

"Those villains frightened the girl, it's really our fault!" Prisoner Li hurried after Wen Ding and Jin Xi.Jin Xi waved her hand, perfunctory.

Jin Xi was secretly surprised that the gate of the yamen was open to the south, so no one could come in without money.The prison boss seemed to be very friendly to her and Wending, no, it should be respectful.Where does this respect come from?When Jin Xi came in, even though he gave the jailer two taels of silver, it wouldn't make him respectful, right?And that kind of respect is different from the general respect on the face, but a kind of admiration and admiration brought out from the depths of the bones!
Jin Xi glanced at Wending, and saw that he was talking to the jailer Li indifferently, clearly speaking, but the prisoner Li bowed his back slightly, as if he was obeying orders.

The problem definitely lies with Wending again, Jin Xi thought to herself, she always felt that she was very familiar with Wending before and could see clearly, but as she got more in touch with him, Jin Xi became a little confused and felt I can't see him more and more.She faintly felt that the real him might be beyond her imagination.When the two left, Prisoner Li also turned around and entered the cell, as if he was heading towards the cell of the Ma brothers.

"Brother Wen, what did you tell Prisoner Li when you just left?" Jin Xi couldn't help asking.

Wending smiled gently, and said, "Naturally let Prison Li take care of the Ma brothers!"

Jin Xi was slightly startled, then narrowed her eyes, the two looked at each other, and they both smiled knowingly.The word "take care" here is not something ordinary people can bear. With Li Laotou's respect for Wending, he must have won Wending's confession. Li Laotou will definitely take good care of him from now on. Yes, 'take care' of the Ma brothers!

……

"The brothers of the Ma family are now under the special care of prison head Li, so why should we worry about it?" Wen Ding's faint voice brought Jin Xi back from yesterday's prison incident, and ate the leftover dishes across the table Looking at him opposite, I only heard him chuckle, and continued: "I really want to know, why didn't you tell me half a word yesterday, and you haven't mentioned half a word today, I want to know more and more what you are talking about?" How about building a plan to deal with that horse widow?"

Jin Xi still smiled and said nothing, "Brother Wen, just wait patiently for three more days, no, maybe it only takes two days, and then you will know what kind of gift I gave to that widow."

Wending shook his head helplessly, and since that was the case, he stopped asking.The two sat and chatted for a while, Jin Xi reckoned the time, it was already afternoon, so she got up to leave and wanted to go back to the hot pot shop.

"Aren't you going to pack these dishes?" Wen Ding glanced at the dishes on the table and asked.

"It's impossible to serve these dishes to other customers. Throwing them away is a waste, and pack them all up for me!" Jin Xi said, many of the dishes didn't touch their chopsticks, and Sun Yuxia and Taozhi would be satisfied with them when they brought them back. .

Wending smiled and gave a light slap, and the waiter who served the food pushed the door in again, and quickly packed the food on the table.All folded in a five-layer red lacquer food box.

"Wait a minute, is that the one you put in just now?" Jin Xi called to the waiter, pointed to a bulging thing on the top of the food box, and asked.

"It's a roasted sweet potato. I just asked him to buy it from below. This sweet potato is very sweet. Take it home and try it." Wending said.

Jin Xi was surprised, remembering that she was lying on the window looking at the street scene before dinner, and was touched by the unique sweet smell of the roasted sweet potato, maybe she couldn't help talking to herself, and when he heard it, she thought it was her I am hungry for sweet potatoes, this is...

Jin Xi was a little embarrassed, but she still stood up and generously took the overweight food box, Wen Ding also stood up immediately, and said, "Let's go, I just happened to send Brother Yu Bao to him for a long time. You go back!"

……

Jinxi's prediction was still not very accurate, because the next morning, when Xiaobeilou opened the morning market, the news about what happened to Widow Ma's house on East Street had spread from the east to the north, west and south of the huge county town. They all learned about it at the same time, and there was an uproar about it for a while.Jin Xi went to the morning market to buy vegetables, and almost all the women who bought vegetables were talking about what happened at Widow Ma's house yesterday afternoon. He is the best at it, within half a day, there are several different versions of what happened to Widow Horse.

Version [-]: Widow Ma dared not offend her due to the fact that her neighbors on the East Street did not dare to offend her. Yesterday at noon, she went to the Granny Liu's house next door, who made a living by distributing rice noodles. The famous scoundrel who doesn't give money to whores is also avoided by everyone in West Street.I don't know why, but Wang Qing and Widow Ma met at Po Liu's, and they saw each other right away.Finding an excuse to trick Liu Po ​​into leaving the house, the two of them took off their clothes at the dining table of Liu Po's house, took off their clothes, brought dry firewood, and started a fire. As soon as he fought, he was bumped into by the celebrity Mr. Wang in front of the county magistrate who happened to be passing by. Widow Ma begged Mr. Wang to uphold justice, saying that he was raped by Wang Qing, so Mr. Wang came in to uphold justice, but Wang Qing was still punished. I don't know what widow Ma used to Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang who hooked her was also moved. When the family returned to report, Mrs. Wang's wife hurried to Mrs. Liu's house with three concubines. I saw Master Wang hugging Widow Horse on his lap and coaxing Widow Horse. It is said that Widow Horse's bare white arms were still hooked on Master Wang's shoulders at that time. The two looked very intimate...

Master Wang's wife immediately rushed over to fight with Master Wang. The three concubines and a few maidservants she brought with her were not vegetarians. They didn't dare to touch Master Wang, so they all rushed forward. Press a broad-shouldered horse widow on the ground, fight and fight, kick and bite, those concubines are good masters of inner house fights, and there are endless ways to harm others. When Mr. Wang is caught by his wife Pulling her ears out of Mrs. Liu's house, Widow Ma has been beaten into a shapeless shape by those concubines, and she is only half-breathed...

Jin Xi smiled as she walked through the crowds at the vegetable market, and only then did she know what the most authentic version was, because she was the one behind the scenes.However, although these rumored versions are somewhat exaggerated, after all, several key points are not off topic.These characters were all arranged by Jin Xi, who promised money to Wang Qing, and promised future business relationship to Po Liu. It was not a coincidence that Mr. Wang happened to pass by. It was because someone gave Mr. Wang false letters, but Mr. Wang The women in the backyard of the family were specially sent by the messenger to catch the rape. The time, place and sequence of appearances of all the characters were perfectly coordinated, so what happened to the widow horse!
